Beyond the Page
Muslim girls and women go beyond the page
Pupils from the Crescent Community High School, an Islamic girls school, have worked with their mothers and teachers to create a series of handmade books to be displayed alongside the Beyond the Page exhibition.
Through calligraphy and printmaking sessions, the group have explored Islamic heritage by sharing their own experiences and knowledge. The group also enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the artworks with some of the artists from the Beyond the Page exhibition.
